libmemcached_store and rails 3

Greetings,

I've been trying to get rails 3.1 and the libmemcached client library(http://tangent.org/) and the memcached gem(Evan Weaver's) working

libmemcached_store and it's branches appear to be the right choice (GitHub - benhutton/libmemcached_store: ActiveSupport::Cache wrapper for libmemcached)

but alas, I cannot get it working - writing returns false, and reading can't find the value

(note, I can read and write to the same memcached server just fine by other means, which also use the libmemcached c client)

development.rb config.cache_store = :libmemcached_store

Loading development environment (Rails 3.1.1) 1.9.2p290 :001 > Rails.cache.write("city", "Duckburgh") => false 1.9.2p290 :002 > Rails.cache.read("city") => nil 1.9.2p290 :003 > Rails.cache => #<ActiveSupport::Cache::LibmemcachedStore:0x00000129327a88 @options={:compress=>true, :namespace=>"development"}, @addresses=["127.0.0.1:11211"], @cache=#<Memcached:0x00000129325cb0 @struct=#<Rlibmemcached::MemcachedSt:0x00000129325c38>, @options={:hash=>:fnv1_32, :no_block=>false, :noreply=>false, :distribution=>:consistent_ketama, :ketama_weighted=>true, ...

I've run the memcached server with -vvv, and no error messages are raised.

I'm at a loss.

Any suggestions are truly welcomed! Jodi

I was able to solve this by upgrading libevent and the memcached server (and the memcached gem to the latest)

server: memcached-1.4.10 libevent: libevent-2.0.16-stable memcached gem: 1.3.5

headcold put me at a loss - perhaps this breadcrumb can help others

cheers, Jodi
